Worlds biggest mosque?

Faisal Mosque

I was hoping to see the mosque which I had in my mind from my childhood but sadly I think it is slightly overrated. It was not ancient architecture nor modern to me, my views might be tempered due to poor outdoor lighting which might have not been giving justice to the structure.

Hiranminar

I never knew there was any thing like this in middle of no where. This was build by  Emperor Jahangir just next to the town of Sheikhupura. Emperor had so much time that he order the original minar(tower) which was near by on the grave of his beloved deer, no wonder kingdom came down soon after that. Will soon post details and more photos of the surroundings right now a bit restricted due to mobile blog.

1130 night coach

Last time I travelled by Pakistan railways was back in 2002 for basant in lower class shared compartment with few friends. In 6 years railways totally changed. to start with they do not have my much loved 3x1 inch cardboard tickets any more instead they have computerized ticketing system now with electronic announcement sign boards of arrivals and departures, all the employees at ticket selling counter were ladies with nice blue uniforms some with head scarf and some in ninja costume. To top it all 11.30pm train was singled to move by an old fashioned lantern and it left right on time. This was when my brother could not take any more of my company and left for Lahore.

New Toys

Always wanted to hold AK47 and i was lucky enough to hold 3 of them, (2006, 1998, 70s). Sadly i was not able to fire few rounds due to some tension with neighbours :P

Shams Tabrizi

Apparently Rumi's teacher but i did some research and found out the original Shams Tabrizi is buried in Iran. The local legend in multan is that he pulled the sun down to keep himself warm and that is why multan has got such a hot weather.

Double barrel

Old school hunting gun, i wanted to fish with this but was asked to shoot in the air.

Loser

Shahrukh capturing dead loser rooster but i think others are more interested in him or what he is doing.

Babi's farm

Lunch hosted by my host at his Baithk(sitting). Everything from tea to rice roti(bread) were cooked on wood

Brutal fight

One of the most brutal fights i have ever seen. This was rooster fight between 2 small farms with a bet of Rs20000 and further individual bets. One on the right died. Wait till i get back and post the video which is not recommended for animal rights activists.

Sukker

The only modern thing in city are cars. The whole city has to be rebuild after every monsoon.

Suicide Tower

Original name is Minar e Masum but it is favourite suicide spot hence the name. 84 ft high 84 steps and towards the top steps are as narrow as 1 feet.

Dadho suthi mehman nawazi

Sir Khizar Hayat and sir shahrukh hayat recieved sindh's highest honour ajrak and sindhi topi(cap)

Sunset

I wonder where all these trees came from in Sindh.

Rush hour

Even cows are respected here we let them cross the road on main national highway but dogs do have to play 'chicken game'

Bhambore

Probably first mosque in asia. Entry point of youngest general Mohd. Bin Qasim.

Late start

This will be my ride for next few weeks. All set to leave at 9.30 am approx 3 hours late due to over sleeping, breakfast by mom as i will never eat again and fighting not to carry banana's and oranges.
